stealth Coin-op video game cabinet grow (mame cabinet)

never heard of it before, you should post some pics I would like to see how it turns out.

yeah, sounds cool, post some pics.

Plenty of room, could make a vegg section in the low spot under the console.

I built a mame emulation cabinet when I was younger, wish I stil had it thats a great idea

I'll post pics.

The plan is flower in the bottom and veg where the crt used to be. Slap a cheap laptop in the very very top and a cheap LCD for the monitor so it's all working but 99% just empty space inside and looks complete.

I was going to look for a fitting game to run on it, but I think I'll just have it run winamp and be a jukebox. I don't care about games any more at my age really, it's just something to screw around with.

If you use the full height of the cabinet and offset your two chambers horizontally instead of vertically youll be able to grow way better plants. Flowering plants need height.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean speedhabit. The bottom of the cabinet is 4' tall and the top for vegging is 2'. If you mean I should use slim 6' tall spaces side by side I don't see that working as well at all. For lights I have a choice of 8 4' flouros or a couple 250's or a mix, and for veg I have 42w cfl's and or 2' flouro's.

I've grown more than my fair share before. So far always indica heavy though, so maybe you're a sativa grower. I have both types this run, but the sativas will probably be left growing in a closet.

I don't even need the stealth really, it's just that I had this cabinet sitting here right beside me for a couple years that I never got around to doing anything with and have thought about it for a while. (mainly every time I see posts about pc case grows and other tiny things like that and think this would sure be a better idea for a lot of those folks if they wanted to go to this much effort)

Also I just recently started growing again after many years away from it. If (knock on wood) my main grow ever got stolen or had a problem I'd still have what's inside this, and I like the sound of that added backup.

I've been thinking about this same idea for about a year... never really found the case for something I was willing to spend on it. Glad someone else had the idea would love to see some pics.
